Plant, sorry I have no idea why that should happen. I'll just check our back office to see if there's anything from our software providers about it.

[Daisy]

Plant, there's nothing specific from the software providers. Can you clear your Cache? Also try logging out and logging back in again. Could you let us know if any of those actions work, please. xx

[Nanto2girls]

Don't know how the cakes are,but we will be sampling it soon.
The last few times i have made them in the air fryer,they have been fine.
I'll let you know later what today's are like.

We've just been out clearing the pavement,well our part of the pavement.
We live on a corner and have more pavement than anyone else on the street.
Hubby just going over it with Jeyes fluid. Hopefully dogs will stop using it as a public convenience.

Hallo everyone, Daisy, I made a delicious fruit cake the other week in the air fryer, also a few other cakes done the same way.

Oma, I do hope that B is improving, men!!!!!

I have had a busy weekend, I went to Rotterdam yesterday to see the neighbour I hadn't seen for almost 60 years, it was great catching up with her, she was with friends and their mother, 91 years old!!! She managed to walk quite a lot and enjoyed herself. For her 90th she did a sky-fall for charity!!!! The friend said I am so like my mother, it was the same with her, so much like her mother.

I have just been to aqua, I saw someone walking with a young child in the other pool, had a good look and it was my trainer from the circuit training, I went for a chat then he stayed to see how we moved. He said the young man was very good, he has done it himself and the secret is in the flowing, he certainly has that! We are all having lunch after the training on Wednesday so he will be there as well.

I have just got my Christmas lights ready to place in a vase.

Gosh Lizzie, what an amazing lady your friends mum is!

Nan2 it's disgusting when owners don't pick up after their dogs isn't it ?

Plant I don't have an iPad so have no idea what that could be.

Oma I hope you haven't overdone it now you are starting to feel better.

Daisy things are definitely improving thanks. Fingers crossed as I thought the same a few days ago! I have just taken tonight's tablet, 2 more to take tomorrow.

My 3 aqua friends were all in this mornings class and all able to stay for coffee.
Our instructor wore a Christmas top and played Christmas music. He stood near the top of the pool steps and wished us all a Happy Christmas as we got out. I will be there on Wednesday but that's a different instructor, this was his last class before Christmas.

This afternoon we put up some more outside lights, then let the kittens have a romp around the garden before dark. When they were sleeping that off I added a few more things to the tree

[Nanto2girls]

The fruit cakes turned out well. We have sampled them.
I'll post the recipe tomorrow for anyone thats interested.

Gem, how lovely you were all able to stay for coffee.

[Gemini]

Yes, recipe please Nan2

[Daisy]

Nanto, I love fruit cake, so yes, please I would like to give it a go. I can't understand owners who don't pick up after their dogs, but some people don't keep a close eye on what their dogs are actually doing.

Gem, I'm sure you all enjoy aqua more when all 4 of you are able to go. Today's session sounds fun. The kittens are obviously finding the garden fun, and seem to be behaving round the Christmas tree. You'll have to put them on Santa's nice list! Glad the tablets are working.

Lizzie, it's fantastic to see good friends after such a long absence. Were you able to pick up the friendship and conversation as though you'd seen her last week? That happened to me a couple of years ago, and it was like we'd seen each other just recently even though it was around 50 years.

Another busy day, although I'm not sure where the time has gone. OH put the outside lights up this morning and we treated the front door step to a new rubber mat. Talk about being posh, eh!!

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning.

Daisy, a new doormat, how posh.

We are going to the farm shop this morning.
We are picking up hubby's sister and her hubby.
We were planning on going on Saturday, but their car is acting up, so needs to have some work done,and they can't make it on Saturday.

Not sure if we will eat there or not.
SIS in law is coeliac and I don't know if they do gluten free meals.

Hope the poorly people are getting better.

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, yes Daisy, we picked up where we left off all those years ago.

It is so dull here, it has been for weeks now, it is time the days got longer.

GD1 phoned as I was on my way to aqua, inviting me to lunch, I told her I couldn't but as she is almost finished for college this term we can go another time. Their class are all going to the Efteling today, huge theme park.

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies.

I like the farm shop graphic Nan2 They may do baked potatoes there which your SIL could have.

Nice to have lunch with your GD to look forward to another time Lizzie.

I hope there is some improvement in B, Oma.

I am hoping this last day of antibiotics will fully clear this cystitis.
Library this morning then GS1. I am going straight from the library to his house as DD has a school meeting at 11.30, followed by her work Christmas lunch. I don't usually leave the library before 12, but he is fine alone for an hour or so. I bought his mums Christmas present last week so he can wrap that today and take it home.

[Daisy]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone.

Nanto, our farm shop (not really local but on the way to DS2's) is fantastic, and do GF sausages. They don't label them as such but you can see from the list of ingredients and DIL gets them for GD1 who is gluten intolerant. So I hope there is something your Sister-in-law can eat. Hopefully a day with no cooking for you.

Lizzie, I'm pleased you and your old friend had such a good time. It must have been a pleasure for both of you. I bet your GD1 will have a whale of a time at the theme park. Hopefully, it's not raining.

Gem, are you keeping up with lots of water and cranberry juice as well? You've got a busy day with the library and GS1. Well done on getting hi Mum's Christmas present sorted out for him. Has he got a good hiding place for it?

Oma, how is B today?

WeeGranny, I hope your recovery is still going well. Thinking about you. xx

[Oma]

Morning ladies
Gem
I do hope this is the last of the cystitis, can you feel a difference?
Does GS know what you bought for his Mum? 😁

Lizzie
What a thoughtful GD,shame you couldn't go for lunch,
I bet they all have a lovely day at the theme park although I bet it's not cheap.

Daisy

A new doormat the neighbours will talk 😁

B
A little better today but his sinuses are still causing problems with headaches,
He is at the moment sitting with his head over a bowl of steaming menthol crystals,
Hopefully that will help.

Nanto
Hope you can find something for SIL to eat , as Gem said they often have backed potatoes on the menu especially this time of year .

I Slept 8 hours last night I was in bed for 10 went straight to sleep and didn't wake till just on 6 .
I didn't even get up for the loo.

I can't remember the last time that happened I think it just all caught up with me.
I have cleaned through and done some other jobs so now having a cup of tea.
Hair cut&dyed at 2.30.
Was supposed to be tomorrow but she rang last night see if I wanted to go in today.
Gets it done and out of the way for Christmas.

[Lizzie48]

Oma, the park is expensive, there are often offers on so maybe they make use of those. GD2 enjoys herself more than GD1, she is planning on going with her mother anytime soon.

Daisy, the sun is actually shining!!!!!!

[Plantaholic]

Waiting for my Waitrose delivery, the last before Christmas. Also expecting a friend for coffee. I shall try and have a quiet afternoon as I have a busy week.

I hope all the poorly ones and those recovering from ops are on the mend.

Lizzie, how nice to be invited to lunch by your GD.

Daisy, time is just galloping away, will you be with some of your family for Christmas Day?

Oma hasn’t posted yet, I hope all is well there.
